What is Pure Freedom?
Pure Freedom is a sexual risk avoidance program based on the community saturation model, including school-based programs as well as parent and community workshops. The program gives students relevant, medically-accurate, researched-based information so they can make healthy decisions about sex and relationships. Furthermore, the program encourages parents to participate in the program by giving students homework that requires them to ask questions to a trusted adult.
